Dolly's messed up breeding season.

We brought Molson home the weekend after Denver was born...hoping to breed Dolly back on her foal heat.

He was happy to see a girl...and she was happy to see him. He bred her twice that day and then left her alone. Not sure what happened but maybe we missed her heat?

So we waited 4 days and saw nothing so I went and bought a shot of Lute to bring her back into heat. 4 days later she was in again and I watched closely for 5 days and only saw him breed her once. He would roar up to her, stance, posture and then walk away. WEIRD.

So I took him home...hoping that he got her.

We then decided after watching Gunner pace and be a total brat, that Dolly would be a perfect mare to tune him in and teach him some manners. Figuring that she was totally out of her heat cycle after it being over a week since Molson had bred her or showed interest.

But NOPE...wrong. Gunner roared in...and while Dolly tryed to tune him in, he just was having none of it...and ended up breeding her 6 times in a matter of hours.

It was a hot day and even when he wasn't trying to breed her, he kept her and baby moving so I finally caught him and put him away from her to let her and baby rest.

We decided after this that Gunner would live by himself this year and we will wait and DNA Dolly's baby next year to see who the daddy is.

WHAT A MESS!!!
